Simple answers. Yes, I live in NH. Yes, I have to think about my retirement as I'm 48. I discovered this place because of a Wired magazine article on tricked out electric carts. My wife and I have discussed the possibility of retiring to the Villages one day.

For my job, I write web sites for the Air Force. I work a schedule that has me in around 6am and off after 4. I peek in here from time to time but usually during lunch. I generally take one other small break. I also work from home when inspiration hits. I wish I could remember how many times I've woken up at 2-3am with a solution that had been baffling me the previous day.

As far as being *here*, it's one of very few places that doesn't shy away from political topics that don't immediately degenerate into schoolyard name-calling. The partisanship gets a little heated and some of the cognitive dissonance can be truly amazing but it's better than other places I used to frequent.
